Round 15 in the Chinese Super League sees Qingdao Jonoon play host to Cangzhou Mighty Lions at the Qingdao Youth Football Stadium on Friday, seeking to leave the relegation positions in the table.
Qingdao secured a draw last time out, while Cangzhou picked up their fourth league triumph of the season against Zhejiang Professional.
We say: Qingdao Jonoon 1-2 Cangzhou Mighty Lions
Qingdao have lost three of their last five at home, failing to score in those games, and that run is expected to become four defeats in six on their turf, despite finding the back of the net against Cangzhou.

Zhejiang Professional welcome Shanghai Shenhua to the Yellow Dragon Sports Centre Stadium in gameweek 15 of the Chinese Super League on Friday.
The Green Giants and Shenhua could lose their spots in the table if they do not secure the best result and outcomes elsewhere go against them.
We say: Zhejiang Professional 2-2 Shanghai Shenhua
Zhejiang and Shenhua head into this gameweek in fine form at home and away, respectively, and both sides could cancel each other out with a score draw on Friday.

Shandong Taishan will look to extend an unbeaten run to 10 Chinese Super League games on Friday, when they travel to take on Henan Songshan Longmen.
The visitors currently occupy sixth spot after 14th top-flight outings, while their hosts are seven points worse off in 11th place following a defeat last time out.
We say: Henan Songshan Longmen 1-2 Shandong Taishan
Henan Songshan Longmen have taken steps forward in recent weeks, but the visitors boast the stronger squad and have been in fine form of their own in recent weeks, and we fancy them to come out on top on Friday.

Tianjin Jinmen Tiger will attempt to maintain their unbeaten record in the Chinese Super League when they play host to Nantong Zhiyun on Friday.
The visitors, who are languishing in 10th place in the table, will be hoping to end a three-game winless league run.
We say: Tianjin Jinmen Tiger 2-1 Nantong Zhiyun
Tianjin will be determined to maintain their unbeaten record in the top flight, and we think that they will claim a narrow victory against a Nantong side that have lost their last four away league matches.

Meizhou Hakka face a very tough test in the Chinese Super League when they host Chengdu Qianbao at the Huitang Stadium on Friday night.
The hosts are 14th in the table heading into the game, and they could drop into the relegation zone if they fail to win, while the hosts are up in third place.
We say: Meizhou Hakka 0-2 Chengdu Qianbao
Chengdu Qianbao have won their last two away matches without conceding a goal, most recently defeating Shenzhen 3-0, and they should have no issues comfortably dispatching of Meizhou Hakka.
Although the hosts managed to scrape a point in their last match, they have been very poor for a number of weeks, failing to win at home since the beginning of May.
